Waitlist for new clients
I welcome clients who are grappling with grief, life transitions, identity explorations, and issues of meaning and purpose. Much of my experience has been assisting students with the adjustment into and out of college and graduate school. I also have experience working with people who are navigating the challenges of mid-life and/or transitions into older adulthood. A particular interest of mine is the adjustment to parenthood. I aim to help clients face both the losses and opportunities that transitions hold, in order to deepen their ability to be fully present to their life. My goal is to help build resilience and joy.

As Therapist and Life Coach, I am integrally connected to the burgeoning Science of Positive Psychology, which is the scientific study of what enables people and communities to thrive. My approach emphasizes the uniqueness and potential of each individual. I dwell in the possibility for positive change. I am committed to the use of tools which make it possible for you to recognize, appreciate and utilize your signature character strengths (you at your best) to assist you with any perceived problems, limitations and areas of healing, thereby opening the door for you to set your intention toward the realm of your possibility.

​I believe that therapy is a safe place where you can come and feel heard. I have an understanding that each person has their own story to share and different ways of processing their story. I enjoy working with individuals trying to navigate their way through life and helping them chart a course that will lead them toward feeling joy and a sense of purpose.

In my practice, I look to build a strong and trusting rapport with clients. We are then able to work together on identifying potential sources of life stressors as well as strengths. In exploring these areas, clients are able to identify and modify previous patterns of behavior in order to achieve their full potential personally, academically, and/or vocationally.

We are all trying our best, myself included. Somedays, we take small steps forward, and other days we move backward or stay still. I know it takes a lot of courage to decide to come to therapy, to take that step towards facing what gets in the way of living your best life. If you are like most of us, you have already been working hard to get there by reading, listening to podcasts, talking to friends, and searching yourself for the answers. I get it; change is hard and can feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes we need a safe space and a teammate to continue our growth. If you are looking for an ally on your journey, reach out.

We all need support at different times in our lives. I believe in a humanistic, person-centered approach to counseling, and strive to create a safe, grounded, and non-judgmental space within which clients can explore and process their thoughts and emotions while providing authentic and genuine feedback. This approach can be transformative, but it also requires a high level of trust and commitment from both parties. My approach is one of deep listening and collaboration with each unique person.

**NO availability until January 2025* I DO NOT PROVIDE THERAPY SERVICES. I specialize in psychological testing, pscyho-ed evaluations, ADHD, behavioral, and autism assessments. My practice is exclusively focussed on testing and consultative services. Have you or your child been diagnosed with many different disorders and, despite therapy, nothing works? Is your child struggling in school and you are concerned about an attentional issue or learning problem? Has your therapist or prescriber recommended testing? These are some reasons in which testing may be warranted.

Perhaps now, it is a period of time in your life that is emotionally difficult, a death or loss you are grieving, struggles with depression or anxiety, problematic relationships, or just want to work on personal growth. Perhaps you need a sympathetic, nonjudgmental ear with someone whom you can trust. I hope you can find that person in me.
